Auto back attacking is probably a bit too much, but I agree with you both in that this is probably safe enough as a trait since it mostly only boosts consistency (it gives spears access to their power bonus more often too but that's very often a dead talent so I think it's deserved)

I agree. Getting backstabbing from a trait would be too OP. I only mentioned it in passing in a sense of 'fairness'. But in hindsight some sort of explanation like "You lack the proper skills to approach your target from behind" can be used here to counter the idea that "If everyone can get front attacks they should get back attacks too!".

So it's all good! I got a bit off topic.

tl;dr I agree with the OP.
